Im Eiltempo absolvierten die neun Teilnehmerinnen des Final Table die Ermittlung der Nachfolgerin von Svetlana Gromenkova als Damen-Weltmeisterin. Dieses Mal ging der Titel nach Hawaii.
Gerade einmal gut drei Stunden brauchte Lisa Hamilton am dritten Tag dieses 1.000 $ No-Limit Hold’em-Turniers, um auch die letzten acht der ursprünglich 1.060 Starterinnen um ihre Chips zu erleichtern. Der Gesamtpreispool betrug 964.600 Dollar, davon kassierte Hamilton 195.390 Dollar.
In der letzten Hand des Turniers callte Lisa Hamilton vom Small Blind und Lori Bender im Big Blind checkte. Der Flop brachte J 8 3 , worauf Hamilton nach Benders Check 100.000 Chips setzte. Bender callte und der Turn brachte die 4 , worauf Bender erneut checkte, dieses Mal aber die 300.000 Chips ihrer Gegnerin mit ihren restlichen 670.000 checkraiste. Nach längerem Grübeln callte Hamilton mit Q 8 und bekam kurz darauf die 9 8 ihrer Gegnerin präsentiert. Der River brachte das A und damit stand Lisa Hamilton als Weltmeisterin fest.
Leider waren alle deutschen Damen schon früh ausgeschieden und hatten allesamt die 117 bezahlten Plätze verpasst. Die ersten elf Plätze gingen dagegen ins Gastgeberland, erst India Storrar konnte auf Rang 12 die amerikanische Phalanx durchbrechen.
